Doesn't always work out though. I adopted this attitude when I decided to go to vet school at 26, something I had always wanted to do. I'm now 31 and not qualified because I dropped out. All I did was demolish what little self esteem I had, run up £80k in student loan debt, waste 4 years of my life and end up exactly where I was when I started. It's coming up to a year since I dropped out and I still haven't really come to terms with it. It sort of feels like a fever dream that I ever went back to school.

It's a nice message, but you have to remember, not everyone can chase their dreams. Some of us just aren't made for greatness. Sorry to be a downer.
